addme | so i guess this is where i introduce myself

Hello! Recently came back to Dreamwidth after a hot minute (though I've been around on and off the last couple of years mostly because of DWRP). Hoping to meet new folks and make connections.

Name: Noey

Age: 39 (I turn 40 this year wiw)

I mostly post about: Slice-of-life shenanigans, writing, reflections on anything from dreams I had this week, mental health, ruminations on anything under the sun. My voidling cat, my dog, occasional to-do lists. Poetry, my own projects. Photos.

My hobbies are: Writing, amateur photography, dance, books! I'm also an avid gamer although I don't get to game as much as I'd like given how busy life has been of late. Oh, and I recently got back into physical journaling because I have so many stickers and having something tactile helps.

My fandoms are: I have... a lot. Top of mind are -- Arcane ~~this is going to be a thing for awhile~~, Pacific Rim, Marvel, Doctor Who. Youtube DIY Interior Design (not sure if it counts but ah well). I like a lot of things, basically.

I'm looking to meet people who: Just people who might be interested to build connections. I used to journal extensively on LJ and then here, post-great migration to other platforms. I miss that kind of community and just meeting new people. I'm also redefining my relationship with social media because the always-on 24/7/365 thing is just... no.

My posting schedule tends to be: I think it's safe to say that I'm likely to post at least once a week, possibly everyday, maybe even more than once. My longform babble goes on Dreamwidth, CliffsNotes go to my physical planner. So expect to see me pop up on your reading page a fair amount.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: I'm at the age where I'm just tired and have few ducks left to give. So the usuals: drama, doomscrolling, extremes from either end.

Before adding me, you should know:
I'm Filipina and I speak 2 other languages outside of English. Sometimes, I may reply in multilingual fashion in the comments to friends of mine who are also on the platform. I am, however, always happy to translate, just ask!
I'm bi/queer in a straight-presenting relationship. I've encountered folks who've taken issue with that, from either end. I know it might be weird of me to bring this up now, but I've found it helpful to my sanity to just be upfront.
I write reflections on mental health quite a bit. I was diagnosed with C-PTSD a little over 5 years ago and while I've made loads of progress, a mental health journey is an ongoing thing. Rest assured that I utilize cuts on my posts and include content warnings to those who want to skip over that.
I observe friending amnesty i.e. if you add me and decide that I'm not your cup of tea, all good, thank you for stopping by and giving connecting a shot.

Hi, I'd love to friend you and get to know you! If you'd like you can check out my post on this comm here.

Hi Marti! Nice to meet you and thanks for linking your post. Adding you and looking forward to getting to know you! 🫶🏻

Hi Noey, you sound like a nice and interesting person & I would like to get to know you :)
I also post about my daily life, love books and can relate to mental health struggles, so no judgment on that from me - and I'm also queer and have a lovely cat. Photos are always nice to look at, as well, I love getting glimpses into others' lives.
(Oh, and I don't mean this to sound "exoticizing" or the like, but it would be interesting to me to get to know somebody from the Philippines since it is a country I don't know much about/rarely hear from.)

My name is Tina, btw, I turn 37 this year and live in Germany :)
Friends?

Hi Tina! And ABSOLUTELY, friends :3

And don't worry, I didn't take you expressing interest in my country that way. Happy to share what life is like over here if you will tell me all the things about Germany too!

Yay! I love love love meeting people who have cats. Added you and granted access.

We have several things in common. Wanna connect?

Absolutely! Added ans granted access!

I wasn't officially diagnosed with C-PTSD but a counselor did mention it to me and sounds like I have it... I got a book for christmas about how to recover from it!
